steering cotter pin
On the pitman arm, the arm that comes off of steering box ,where it bolts to linkage should there be a castlated nut and cotter pin?
I have a 1980 GMC 1/2 ton frontend and there is no hole for cotter pin . When I tore it down i thought there was one but now no hole. I thought pin sheared off in hole and i couldn't see it. But I can't find it. Any pics would help . I swapped front end to 1970 c10. |

I've replaces my box and I didn't have a cotter pin or a castle nut on there. I just tightened up the nut that was on there.
